FESTIVAL REVIEW: My Dorian. There is a strong sense of style from this American student drama team as they bring some classic Wilde to Dublin. Student productions are always challenged by meeting the age range of the characters but have no difficulty in presenting a most handsome a physically fit naked Dorian. Dorian Gray is not a play but a novel and as such has its challenges when transferring to theatre. In this Starving Artists was successful. The script is tight and to the point. It is selective in its inclusion and conveys core text well. The playing of Victorian characters and the use of language remained a challenge at times but nevertheless the charm of the presentation came through. There were moments of exquisite design, beautiful colour and appropriate nudity. The playing of Dorian naked makes sense in his complete capacity to beguile and inspire lustful devotion. This young team under the direction of Ricardo Melendez tackled a challenging piece of theatre and earned considerable credit. Runs in Teachers Club until Saturday at 9 (matinee 4pm) GF
